There are plenty of red states that have started to censor what kids can be taught in school and what books libraries can have, and when they don't succeed they just shut the library down. It's been all over the news for the last few years so I'm surprised you haven't noticed.
That's censorship of the worst kind. Free access to knowledge is the foundation of freedom. Without education, the populace becomes much easier to control by those that seek to do so through nefarious means.
